"content": "it at length in the Committee. First of all, part of this clause was there initially in the Bill which was introduced in the House. But it was defeated through some amendments. However, the version which came from the President is slightly different from what originally came to the House to the extent that it is also giving the Public Service Commission powers to appoint the senior-most auditor. Under Clause 15 of this Bill, there is the Senior Deputy Auditor-General whose roles have been specified there. When we considered this in the Committee, we said that instead of all these stories which give another person powers to select another person, since the Senior Deputy Auditor-General deputises the Auditor-General, we should only add another function to the Senior Deputy Auditor-General under Clause 15 and say that he should act in the absence of the Auditor-General. That will cover the lacuna. If you look at what has been provided there, it looks like somebody fears something. They want to do something in three months and then appoint somebody else. It is suspicious the way it is presented."
